RUSSIA AND ITS TREATY.

One of the attempted diplomatic achieve
ments of the present administration is a pro-
posed extradition treaty between the United
States and Russia, which has already been
signed by Secretary Bayard and Baron Strive,
Russian minister at Washington, and is now
awaiting ratification by the Senate. 1t is one
of Mr. Bayard's characteristic attempts at
international craftsmanship. There is less
need, on our part, of extradition treaty
with Russia than with any other government.
The remoteness of the country makes it
difficult for American criminals to get there,
and as long as Canada and South America are
open to them they not likely to go to
Russia. Fugitives from Russia are much
more likely to seek refuge in the United
States than ours to fly to Russia, and any
extradition treaty that might be made would
operate to her advantage. The one that has
been signed by Mr.. Bayard clearly does,
since it provides for the surrender of q class
of fugitives of which there are likely to be
many from Russia to this country and none
at all from this country to Russia. Article
embraced its provisions, including murder,
or any grade of homicide. Article is as
follows:
eff it be made to appear that extradition is
sought with a view to try punish the per-
demanded for offense of a political
character, surrender shall not take place, nor
shall any person surrendered be tried or punish
ed for any political offense committed previous
to his extradition nor for any offense other
than that for which the extradition was
granted; nor shall the surrender of any person
be demanded for an offense committed prior
to the date at which this convention shall
take effect The murder or mansIaughter
comprising the willful negligent killing of
the sovereign chief magistrate of the state
or of any member of his family, as well as an
attempt to commit participate in the said
crimes, shall not be considered an offense of
political character.
This article, it will be observed, excerpts
political offenses' from the operation of the
treaty and then excludes from the definition
Of political offense the murder or killing stof
the sovereign or chief magistrate of the
state, or of any member of his fam
ilv, as we'll as an attempt to COM
NIT participate in said crimes"
The language is comprehensive enough to en-
brace every person, however remotely con-
nected, with an attempt the life of the

them within the operation of the treaty.

A VALUABLE COLLAPSE.
to be.

The strike of the Knights of Labor on the
Reading railroad which threatened to assume
very large proportions has ended in the
practical surrender of the strikers and COM
plete triumph of the road. 1t was an unwise
and unjustifable strike and failed for lack of
good cause. Other strikes have failed for
the same reason in the past, as it is to be
hoped all similar ones will in the future. A
strike without good ground to stand on and a
good cause behind it deserves to fail. In the
present there was no just claim or principle
involved, no wrong to be remedied, no right to
be protected. II a strike of labor against
labor. The trouble began in the demand
the Knights of Labor for the discharge of six
non-union employed in the Port Rich
mond grain elevator, at Philadelphia The
sole offense Of these men was in being nom
union men. Because their employers refused
TO discharge them on the demand of the
Knights several crews of the latter refused to
deliver coal to the elevator. There
was no question of wages involved,
and no grievance whatever except
as indicated. The matter was taken
up by the district assembly of railroad en-
ployes, and an order was issued for a general
strike of all the railroad men and miners en-
ployed by the Reading company. This order
would have affected about 45, 900 men, a large
proportion of whom had families Deepen dent
them. So general a strike would have af-
fected numerous industries, entailed heavy
loss on many individuals and caused wide dis
turbance Of trade. All this disturbance, dis
aster and loss it was attempted to precipitate
because six non-union men who were willing
to work for living We're given employment.
Thus it was strike of labor against labor, an
attempt the part of powerful organiza-
ton to crush few individuals and to dictate
to the elevator men whom they should
ploy. It needs no argument to show the in
justice of such strike. A large number of
the Knights must have seen the folly
of going out on such ground, for majority
of them did not obey the order The
railroad management discharged the striking
crews and gave notice to all hands that they
would not be dictated to in a matter of that
and the lack of union among them, together
with the firm stand taken by the railroad,
led to discussion, then to negotiation, and
finally tc a surrender of the strikers. The
leaders, in order to let themselves down easy,
give out that the matter is to be settled by
arbitration, but the railroad officials say there
is nothing to arbitrate and that appears to be
true. The strike simply collapsed. The fall
ure adds another to the list of those on the
part of labor organizations to unfairly dictate
to employers and tyrannize over non-union
labor. 1t is significant fact, also, that it
met with very little sympathy among the
workingmen at New York and other labor
centers. Intelligent workingmen are getting
their eyes opened to tie folly of strikes with
out good cause.

THE Gas Trust has announced that a
second installment of 10 per cent on the sub
scriptions will be due on and after the Sd of
January. It is semi-oficially stated that B
per cent of the first instalment is still I'M

be officially informed of the steps that are be-
ing taken by the directors to obtain gas, and
that necessitates the payment of the subscrip

already paid in are ample to pay for all the
preliminary work that has been thus far re-
quired and the succeeding installments will
be used, of course, to go ahead at once, and
with the utmost vigor, to bring the gas into

the 1st of next September the date when
subscribers are to be furnished with gas, but
if that date can be anticipated, so to have

of manufacturers, at least, great and desir-
able impetus will be given to the prosperity

GEN. JOHN c. FREMONT and family, says
Los Angeles dispatch, will spend the winter
in that vicinity. The people of California
should give him the freedom of the State and
vote MIN public testimonial besides. General
Fremont was very prominently identified with
the early history of California. 1t was on his
third expedition across the continent, in
1915 that he explored the California and Ore
gon region, then an unknown land. At that
time California belonged to Mexico, and
while pursuing his explorations Fremont was
ordered to leave the country. He refused,
took defensive position with his little force
of sixty-two men, raised the American flag
and defied the Mexican Governor. For several
days fight seemed imminent, but matters
were compromised and Fremont continued
his exploration. The next spring, 1916, the
government put Fremont in charge of Ameri-
can interests in California. In a few weeks
he had a force amply able to protect the
American settlers, and little later the
Mexicans were expelled from northern Cali
fornia, and Fremont had really captured the
country before he heard of the commence
ment Of hostilities with Mexico. Suisse
quently he became military commandant and
civil Governor of the Territory, acquired i'm
mense wealth as owner of valuable gold mines,
was elected United States Senator and in
other ways prominently identified with the
early history of the State. Few men living,
certainly other American, has had so varied
and remarkable a career as General Fremont.

that of forty years ago must seem like

THE report that the President and Mrs
Cleveland will not receive callers on New
Years day on account of the death of ex-Sec-
rotary Manning, is probably incorrect, since
ministration for year, and it would be man
ifestly absurd to check public festivities for
the sake of one in whom the changeable and
changing Washington population had but
slight interest. Should the ceremonies at
the White House be dispensed with, it will
indicate not so much the Presidents regard
for his late Secretary as his eagerness to find
an excuse for keeping aloof from the people.

How Billy Patterson Was Struck.

st. Louis Globe Democrat
About forty years ago, at one of the medical
colleges of this country the students had trick
of hazing every new man who entered the inst.
tuition. They would secure him hand and foot
carry him before mock tribunal, and there try
him for some high crime with which they
charged him. He would be convicted, of course,
and sentenced to be led to the block and decap-
itated. A student named William Patterson
along in time and was put through the
court and sentenced in the usual solemn aud
impressive manner. He was blindfolded and
led to the block. and his neck placed In posi-
ton. The executioner swung the ak and buried
it in the block. allowing it, to be sure. to go no.
where near Pattersons head. The students
laughed when the trick at an end but Pat
terson was dead. He had died from what med
ical men call shock. All the students were put
under arrest. and the question arose. 'Who
struck Billy Patterson On the trial it was
shown that nobody struck him. but the medical
students retained the expression, and it has
come down through them to the present day.
